Meanwhile, 2K announced the spin-off title WWE 2K Battlegrounds in April of 2020 which was released in September 2020 to a mixed reception

What We Know
While 2k21 is cancelled, they told us what to expect in the future: An all-new file code for WWE 2K22 will be produced instead of the one that’s being used for the past couple of years.

- Players will be given the feel of being the WWE Superstar and the game will be treated more like a sports game.

- As of now, the tagline for the game is, “step out of the crowd, step into the ring” (that could change).

- Creation Suite will be streamlined and improved for the next game and they want to make it cross platform (meaning that every wrestler uploaded to Community Creations will be available for every system the game releases on).

- They want to re-add Create-A-Story “at some point.”

- They are looking to import custom music.

- The gameplay itself is getting a huge investment into improving and they will make it more like “Here Comes The Pain” mixed with the best stuff from the most recent games.
